N CITY ITEMS.

The colored people of this place are
having q very interesting meeting going
on at this time, the same being conducted
by Rev. G. w. Kincade. We are In
hopes that there may be much and last
ing good done. Rev. Geo. W. Phillips
filed the pulpit ON Monday evening, and
Rev. B. NJ. Gudger on Tuesday evening.
So every one appears to be very much
animated over their expected good time.
May an allwise Providence crown their
efforts with great success.
Owing to the very dry weather at this
time. gardens are not looking so well.
But every one who can, it seems. is put
ting out sweet potato slips by making a
season for the same.
Alfred Hyder lost a very fine OK last
week. No one could tell just what was
the matter with 1t. But some think 1t
died of murrain.
Rey. G. w. Kincade has been invited
to Decatur, Tenn, to give the colored
people of that place q lift on prohibition.
May God speed the time when that hell
deserving stuff, whisky, will be swept
from the face Of the earth, SO that men,
women, and children may cease to be
troubled thereby. II. b. M.

Col. T. H. Reeves delivered an address

the course Of his remarks. he mentioned
the remarkable fact that since the organi-
cation Of the first board of directors, five
years ago, there had been the most per-

had always been unanimous in deciding
all questions in regard TO the school.
Col. Reeves spoke of the general salts
faction the teachers had given, and com
plimented them on their work.
This speaks we'll for the management
and undoubtedly has contributed largely
to the almost unexampled success that
has attended their efforts in the upbulldlng
of this institution of learning, until 1t Is

ahead Of many Of the schools which have
a wider fame.

she concession of the right of way are
again moving in the matter. A meeting
was held of the Eads Concession Compau
at Pittsburg on Wednesday last, at which
Mr.. Window, ex-secretary of the Treasury
Mr.. Shaw, second vice president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
many other persons prominently con-
nected with the scheme were present.
They decided to begin active efforts to
prosecute the work at an early day, and
instead of relying upon Congress for
charter to incorporate under the laws of
one of the States. After the act of incor-
poration is obtained, they propose to
turn over the concession to the ship-rail-
way company, and to place the stock
and bonds Of the latter on the market.
These securities will first be offered to
American investors, but if they decline
TO take them they will be hoated in
Europe. There is no doubt but the as
sOciates of Mr.. Eads have been encour-
aged to revive his ship-railway scheme
from belief that the failure of the
Panama canal is imminent. It seems to
be well understood that the call of NJ. de
Lesseps for new loan was only partially
successful, Notwithstanding the extraor-
binary efforts made to float it, and that
the money he obtained will only serve to
| carry on the work during the current
year. But M. de Lesseps is a man of
many resources and lndomitable energy,
and the pride that the French people take
in him and in the honor that will rebound
to France in the event of the completion
of the canal may yet be powerful enough
to rescue him from his difficulties. More
over,if there is hope Of obtaining the
money for the Eads railwey, there is still
a greater possibility of carrying out the
Nicaragua ship-canal under purely Amer
lean auspices if work on the Panama
canal should be even temporarily aban-
doned. At present the Eads project and
the Nicaragua project neutralize each
other

FIGHTING for Life With a Bull.
Bang or Commerce al.


One day last week man by the name
Of Carson, VINO lives somewhere in the
vicinity of Hancock was driving along
the road in Holden coming to this city,
when large bull that had been grazing
in pasture near by seeing the team clear
ed the fence and went at the horse, goring
him badly in the side, and at the same
time knocking him down. The man was
obliged to jump from his Garage and run
for his life as the bull made several at
tempts to grind him up. But to save the
life of his horse, he pulled up a fence
stake, and managing to get around the
team without the animal seeing him, he
struck him terrible blow across the nose
which brought him to the ground. He
then struck him several times again, and
the animal arose and staggered away. Mr.
Carson feels badly about his horse, as it
is feared that he will have to be killed
he was valued highly, ana it will be big
loss TO poor man like himself.

A Girl Who is Bound to be Lawyer
Sprins field Republican.

A lawyer who ha been addressed by a
strong minded girl in an uptown business
office asking him to give her instructions
in Jaw evenings, replied that his time

delectable past me, and added that other
professions were more suitable for wOm-
en-. He was dumbfounded to receive this

''DEAR SIR: Your answer to my letter re-
ceived. I wish to thank you for your
prompt reply, which l requested, but not
for the advice, which I did not request.
[ wrote you bueiness letter, such as [
thought one business man might write TO
another, not to ask favor of JOu, but to
offer fair pay for your services as law
yer. You have refused to accept me as
your client according to my standpoint
client is the right word to use in in this
place-intimating that you had too many
other duties. This was of course, per
fectiy fair and husiness-Iike, and at that
point your letter should have ended. The
narrow opinion you expressed at the close,
that other pursuits could be found better
adapted than law to a woman, vast un-
worthy the consideration of any lawyer
who realizes the dignity and breadth of

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
Some Startling Figures P esented to the BOs
ton Observation-Disclosures

Some Startling Figures P esented to the BOs-
ton Christadelphians.
The Christadelphians of Boston held
their regular weekly religious services
yesterday in Chandler hall, Is Essex St.
The subject of the morning discourse
was the question: HAS Man Been on
Earth more than 5000 years?"
The subject was illustrated with a
chart showing mathematical calculations.
This chart was drawn up on the assUmp-
ton that the existence of the human
race apon the terrestrial globe has con-
tinued uninterruptedly for $4,000 years.
The speaker, however, denied that this
claim was founded on any tenable scien-
tific hypothesis. Beginning his calcula-
tion with two human beings, and allow
ing for the number of persons being
doubled every 500 years during the first
ages, he showed that there would exist at
the end of the first 10000 years 2,097, l52
persons. The com putation at the close
of $4,000 years would show in existence
Sach myriads of human beings as would
be inconceivable to the human mind. To
express the number would require row
of figures running into the non1lllons.
The population of the earth at the pres
emit day. he said, is / ,40O,000,00O. He con-
tended that the human race could not
possibly be $4,000 years old. Wherever
evidences of the occupancy Of the earth
prior to the Adamic period had been dis
covered, they were the remains of race
which had tenanted this world and oe-
come extinct before the times recorded
in the book of Genesis. That such race
had existed and had been destroyed could
be maintained, the speaker said from
the scriptural writings of Peter and Jude
and from Pauls Epistle TO the Corinthi-
ans.
Speaking of the argument against the
resurr ection Of the body which is made
by those persons who assert that space
could not be found on the surface of the
globe sufficient TO assemble the resurrect-
ed bodies at the day of judgment, the
speaker figured out that that all the
bodies of all the human beings who have
peopled the earth since the time of Adam
could be collected in space not larger
than the state of New York, and he did
not think so large territory would be
required.
